On Saturday, January 9, 2016, poets and friends of the farm gathered in the orchard to wassail the trees. Wassailing is an old English tradition of blessing the trees and encouraging the new crop. The celebration began with a toast to the trees with cider from the 2015 crop, singing, and reading of poems written for the occasion by the Plein Air Poets. Celebrants dipped bread into a bowl of cider and hung these 'toasts' on the trees as an offering to the birds.
